In his spare time Lee enjoyed time spent with family and watching college football, college basketball and especially betting on the Ponies at the casino. He called it, "Going to the office". Lee taught his daughters how to fish, bowl, drive a stick shift car, be honest, work hard and always be kind and thoughtful and most importantly, that family is always first. He was a proud veteran that was involved volunteering with local veteran groups. You would find him at The Arville House helping his fellow brothers. He had a summer home in Utah that he enjoyed and could be found building rock walls, fishing, landscaping, boating, doing his "arts and crafts", sneaking shots of whiskey, listening to his favorite music and watering his lawn.
